Topside Coffee Cabin

I love this cafe. They serve good coffee and the vibes are great. I used to come here all the time.

I hope the damages weren’t too great.

I recently visited topside coffee cabin and had a mixed experience. First off, the atmosphere is fantastic — a really cozy vibe with great views, making it an excellent spot to relax or get some work done. There are plenty of tables and seating, so you won’t struggle to find a place, even when it’s busy.
However, my visit wasn’t perfect. My order came out wrong — both the food and the drink were mixed up. I totally get that mistakes happen, but the barista’s response was a bit off and felt a little rude. It’s understandable to be busy, but it would’ve been nice to have a more polite interaction when addressing the mix-up.
On the positive side, the food was surprisingly good, definitely a highlight of the visit! The coffee, though, was just okay — nothing special but not bad either.
The cashier was super friendly, which helped balance out the experience. Overall, I’d say it was a good visit, but the wrong order and the attitude from the barista left a bit of a sour taste. Still, I'd probably give it another shot!

We sat outside on their deck having a great coffee with a bit of a view, in a fairly quiet atmosphere. We were able to securely park our bicycles nearby.

The quiche could put you on the map! The best I have ever had.
The scone was better than any scone I have had too!
The dessert bar was a guilty pleasure.

Cozy little coffee place with outdoor seating and lots of indoor seating as well. Ordered their coffee(love the mocha), strawberry banana smoothie, breakfast burrito(chorizo) and egg/sausage sandwich. They also have a veggie burrito for those that don’t eat meat. All were delicious! This is my fifth time here and they never disappoint.
Sometimes there’s a wait because it’s pretty popular, but well worth it and right next to a small park within walking distance if you’d like a nice view of the water.

Has Topside Coffee Cabin changed hands? Serious question. It was like visiting a whole different place. After two previous stellar visits, we came again from Key Peninsula to treat ourselves ~ and were very disappointed. Empty baskets, only 1 kind of cookie, 1 kind of muffin, except for one straggler only 1 kind of scone, 1 pastry. Out of any but veggie breakfast burritos or breakfast sandwiches. At 10 am on a Sunday. They were out of metal forks so said to take a plastic fork (out of those also) water container empty. my friend’s quiche and the coffees came up, was waiting for my warmed scone, finally went to ask, they forgot it. Desultory service. Way less merch which used to be so well curated and fun… a fly problem. The coffee drinks themselves were good, the scone was good, the quiche was okay… but if this had been our first time, we’d never go back, and now I really hesitate. This didn’t seem like a WOW we were SO BUSY shortage (and they weren’t, the whole time we were there, also weird.) It seemed like either poor planning or a reduced offering. Health code had been downgraded to “good” as well?

Treat yourself to this experience. The fish and chips dish is legendary, the best fish (haddock) I have ever had ( including London).

One of my favorite places in the area. Great restaurant overlooking the water on the top floor and coffee shop with great pastries and other treats on the bottom floor.

Coffee is pretty good. The pastries are great, especially if you happen to get something that they just made. They make their pastries from scratch, unlike many other coffee shops in the area that all order from the same wholesaler.

Coffee was ok. Pastries were delicious. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Payment requires a physical card or cash. Parking was difficult to find. There is a small parking garage located in the back with a few spaces. Beautiful view outside. Has restrooms available.

The pastries are so good. Very convenient and relaxing place next to the water and ferries in steilacoom. The coffee and teas are good too.
